"Hidden" Rotations

The R2 will be a teenager, so the odds of having a "sharp" R2 are also extremely low.

We'll see if the scenario plays out this season and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

It just depends. Once your team serves, I know whether your setter is front or back row. If it's the opening set, I'm looking at the lineup to determine where your setter is, even when I'm R1. If it's the second set, if the rally progresses and your opposite is not up and blocking, I can pretty much figure out that your setter is likely front row. If there's a mistake, then we fix it.

If you don't want to be whistled for it, I'd suggest finding some way of letting the R1 know what the deal is if you aren't confident in their ability to figure it out. It just seems like a lot of subterfuge in order to get the first point of the set. *shoulder shrug*
